^ Nice. I'm assuming you changed them because you have the clear turning signal lenses and don't like the amber color of the bulb showing?

Yup! I have rear ISF tails, so now it looks cleaner without the egg yolk. The other pair is for my front headlights, the orange is bothering me.

Got mine for $55. l0l. Pay to play. Rather keep it safe and go with something known to be reliable, plus, it's JDM.

Didn't even know Philips made them, may have considered. Just stumbled upon it randomly and bought it since it's so cheap.

So you got the amber and the chrome?
